Weddings Wedding reception ideas Day visits Garden Mill Hydropower Sculptures
Garden sculptures of steel cockerels.
SCULPTURES Garden sculptures are on display each year and can be bought directly from the sculptor.
Some of those on display in current and previous years are shown below.  
Garden sculptures George Hider - stag. GEORGE HIDER
Each sculpture is hand formed, and therefore different. The black raw steel ones will rust in the garden and take on a natural appearance - the sculptures have the lightness of willow, but are more robust and defined. Their protective coating of lacquer will slow down the weathering process - they will in time rust and take on a brindled effect.
COCKERELS £195,

HEN  £180,

Garden sculptures Janet Swiss - Lovers JANET SWISS
Janet trained as a graphic designer. While helping renovate her home, she began to explore cement as a sculptural medium. Combined with oolitic limestone dust it is strong and water resistant. Her interest in line, plants, ecology and mythology provide inspiration for fountains and garden pieces. They are mostly originals, with some cast limited editions.  The mother and child sculpture is standing quietly under the silver birch tree near the farmhouse.  Janet made The Lovers when we started to have weddings here.          
MOTHER AND CHILD £370,  4'6", 139cm high (not for sale but another can be commissioned)

Garden sculptures Karen Edwards - round planter. KAREN EDWARDS
Built by hand without a mould, dried slowly, then fired. Decorated with metal oxide washes and clay slips, then fired again.
The high temperature of the second firing vitrifies the clay, so the piece can be left outdoors all year.
